Heavyweight boxing champ Tyson Fury sings Aerosmith in celebration

He belted out "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" like bad karaoke, but who's gonna stop him?
When you’ve just asserted yourself as the best heavyweight dude puncher on the planet, that opens up a bit of leeway on the ridiculous stuff you’re allowed to do in public.
Tyson Fury recently defeated longtime heavyweight boxing champ Wladimir Klitschko to earn four apparently garish belts. The 27-year-old British pugilist with the scary six-foot-nine frame celebrated his victory with a power ballad because what the fuck are you gonna do about it? (It was actually a tribute to his wife, but who was going to stop him if his reasoning was crappy?)
Tyson provided his unique take on Aerosmith’s gargantuan mega-ballad “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing” during the post-fight revelry. It’s not exactly a stellar vocal performance (NO OSCAR DE LA HOYA BE HE!), but it’s still pretty sweet and will hopefully establish a weird precedent of athletes singing Armageddon soundtrack cuts after they score a major victory. Here’s hoping we get Conor McGregor busting out “Leaving On A Jet Plane” or some banter about animal crackers at UFC 194 next month.
